How is it an item can make it all the way from Russia yet my mail carrier loses it in the last three miles? How does that happen? Maybe your Russian mail order bride just ran off with the mailman? No, that didn't happen. I'm pretty sure it didn't happen.

Our local Post Office does a very good job once they receive their mail from the distribution center in Coppell. I have had items sit in Coppell for several days though. I think the USPS is overwhelmed by Amazon at the current time.

I have noticed a few times lately that my orders with tracking numbers the expected delivery date changes every day so they can still claim "on time". Its easy to get the package there "on time" when you keep moving the goal post.

I think the USPS is overwhelmed by Amazon at the current time. Not just from Amazon. Think about what items people order and get delivered as opposed to hitting the store front. Most are having to return to the office multiple times per day because they cant fit all the packages in their vehicles. It's a good problem but USPS, dont have the tools to handle it within the local offices.

They get the crap jobs...
My FIL has worked for them for like 35 years
He tells me how often he delivers dog food in 40-50 lbs bags, Amazon...
He’s 60, cmon
UPS charges more so they get all that they don’t want.
My mail, I honestly never had a problem with
I just read where FedEx dropped Amazon

I can't rag on 'em. I'm amazed that they can do what they do as cheap as they do it.
Amazing what you can get away with when you are fully subsidized by the American taxpayer and it matters not if you can break even or not. Privatize it all.

The item that should have been delivered on Wednesday is still missing. Yesterday I was assured it would be delivered but it wasn't. I called them this morning and they said they would actually start looking for it. That's awesome.

No, that didn't happen. I'm pretty sure it didn't happen. dkershen was kind of right. I took the liberty of calling your PO on your behalf, the postmaster said they wanted to check her for leaks, they also will "clean" her up before delivery so, they are actually going above and beyond for you sir

My carrier is off and they don't want to disturb her on a day off. Good for her.

I heard this same statement every time they delivered my packages to the wrong address also good luck I never got anything that was lost . Not to mention every person I seen delivering my mail I asked if this was their regular route everyone said no their just filling in regular driver is on vacation

I love USPS. UPS and FedEx not so much, I've put several of their drivers in jail for theft of firearms as well as other property.

USPS...how many millions of dollars do they lose per year? This should answer questions on how reliable they are.
I am still looking for the perfect apron, one with reinforced knee areas would be perfect.
